Once you’ve set up your Opal account, you may decide you’d like to change profile settings such as your notifications, default time zone, or password.

Email & In-App Notifications

By default, you will receive both in-app and email notifications for various updates and activities within Opal -- such as approval responses, access permission changes, shared content, as well as metadata or content exports.

Update Your Settings

  1. Open your Personal Panel by clicking on the user avatar located in the top right corner of any Opal view.
  2. Click on the ⋮ icon.
  3. Click “Edit My Settings”.
  4. Click "Notifications" to choose to receive in-app notices, emails, or both for each of the various notification types listed.

Approval requests have two different options for email notifications to help you best manage the  volume of incoming approval requests within your inbox: Send Email Once Daily and Send Email Immediately.

  • Send Email Once Daily - Receive a daily digest of all outstanding approvals at a desired time. Set the time of day when these bulk updates should deliver.
  • Send Email Immediately - Receive every approval request sent to you in an individual email at the time when the request was submitted.

General Settings

Week Start Day

The week start day for your Opal profile will default to the week start day set by your administrator.

Update your week start day
  1. Click on the avatar icon in the top right-hand corner of any workspace.
  2. Click “Edit My Settings”.

  4. Select which day you’d like your week to start on.

Default Time Zone for Content Creation

The time zone for your account defaults to the time zone set by your workspace administrator.

Note: The default time zone may not be the time zone in which you are located.
Tip: If you are based in a different time zone than the default time zone, you will see content times based on the workspace default time zone. Set your personal time to see content times based in your time zone.

  1. Click on the avatar icon in the top right-hand corner of any workspace.
  2. Click “Edit My Settings”.
  3. Click the “General Settings” tab.

Password

Manage your password at anytime by changing or resetting it.

  2. Select “Change My Password”.
Note: You will need to know your current password to change your password.
Reset your password
  1. Click “Reset My Password” from the Opal login page.
  2. Enter your Opal email address.

Important: If you have not received an Opal password recovery email within 30 minutes, contact support.

Two-Factor Authentication

To provide an extra layer of security to your Opal account, we recommend setting up two-factor authentication. This will require you to type in a six-digit code that will be sent to your mobile device.

Set up two-factor authentication
  1. Click on the profile icon in the top right-hand corner of your workspace.
  2. Select “Edit My Settings”.
  3. Click on the “Password” tab.
  4. Click the toggle to activate the two-factor authentication.
  5. Follow the steps to set it up.
Note: Once activated, you will be required to enter a new six-digit code every 14 days.
